Love Profusion was the fourth track on the American Life CD. It was released as a single in March of 2004.
On November 4, 2008, at 10:00 PM MST, Angelo and I watched CNN as they announced that Barack Obama had been elected 44th President of the United States. Barack Obama, whose birthday was just thirteen days after mine, was the first black President of the United States. I turned to Angelo and said, “We will always remember where we were that night, and I’m glad I was with you. What a historical event.”
I called Cyrus (See Swim) and congratulated him and his family. Several minutes later, I received a text message from my friend, Ruth, which read, “Tears of joy, my friend. Tears of joy!” And suddenly, after eight miserable years of George W. Bush, hope was restored around the United States and the world. I called my family the next day and discovered that all my siblings had voted for Obama. This information made me very proud. A change had come to America.
Time would tell if this would be a good or bad change, but either way, humanity had made tremendous progress when it came to race. What excited me most about Obama was his commitment to developing renewable energy. I hoped that he would stick to his promise.
Change In America | Astrology forecast for the USA | Founded July 4, 1776, under the sign of Cancer. 2008 to 2024: In the horoscope of the United States, Pluto, as it moves through Capricorn, is opposing the Sun in the natal chart, reflecting major and irrevocable changes on many levels. This aspect has occurred only once before in American history, during the period of the Civil War. Although it is not intrinsically an aspect of war, it challenges the deepest definitions of what constitutes nationhood and raises many issues of autonomy how the government is structured, and how much authority it may or may not exercise. The deeper issues underlying the Civil War concerned not only human rights, but also the autonomy of the individual states comprising the nation, and these issues may once again rise to the surface as new ways of defining the national identity are proposed.
The national Sun in the 7th house also places great emphasis on the nature of the bonds America forms with other nations, and here too Pluto’s transformative energy may require many changes and a re-evaluation of the ways and reasons why particular nations are sought as partners and others are excluded. This could potentially be a time of great renewal and a re-establishment of those high ideals on which the structure of the nation is based.
Pluto, as it completes its transit through Capricorn, will also return to its own natal place: in other words, the United States is experiencing its Pluto return. This suggests the completion of a great cycle and a cementing of the fundamental values on which the Constitution is built. There may also be a serious reappraisal of issues concerned with the environment, as Capricorn is an earthy sign, and the use or abuse of natural resources may become a cause for not only profound concern but also profound change and a more enlightened attitude. The enormous resources available to the United States are reflected by Pluto in the 2nd house of the national chart, and it is possible that these will be approached with greater respect and care than ever before.
Whether or not you favor these changes personally, it would seem that a time has arrived when there is a great new opportunity to affirm the values and ideals of the original founders of the nation, applicable not only to government and to foreign relations, but also to the land itself and the resources inherent in it. | Liz Greene, written in 2005 via ©Astro.com
If the astrology forecast was accurate, I felt this was only the beginning; many more historic changes appeared to be around the corner for the United States and the world.
On November 11, 2008, Angelo and I went to see Madonna’s Sticky & Sweet Tour in Denver, Colorado. We sat in the following seats: Section AAA | Row 28 | Seats 7 & 8
This event was my tenth Madonna concert, Angelo’s first. One of my favorite performances of the show was You Must Love Me. It was brilliant in appearance, and Madonna’s voice was beautiful.
A few weeks later, I decided it was time to face my fear and make my first attempt to confront my “Christ Connection” head-on. After I sat down and had a heart-to-heart conversation with my higher self about my beliefs and relationship with Jesus Christ, I decided it was time to take a closer look and figure out what it all meant.
First, I had to remind myself that my belief in Jesus Christ primarily relied on the fact that I was born and raised in North Carolina, located in the Bible Belt of the United States. If I had been born in India, it was possible that I would have been raised Hindu. If I had been born in Thailand, I probably would have been raised Buddhist. If I were born a Jew, I would have studied Judaism, and so on. I believe that a large part of anyone’s faith is contributed to the environment in which that person was born. Because I was born in the South, my faith was one variation of Christianity.
Secondly, I wanted to examine my “Christ Connection” with as much innocence as possible. I did not want to get caught up in all the controversies surrounding his life, death, and potential resurrection. I had to remove myself from those conversations altogether. I decided to leave those questions for the Catholics, Orthodox, Pentecostals, Presbyterians, Baptists, Methodists, Lutherans, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Adventists, Mormons, Apostolics, Mennonites, and Quakers to discuss and figure out. After all, they’d been studying the Bible for many, many, many years and had already reached their separate conclusions.
Lastly, I had to remind myself that whatever I discovered during this part of my quest was purely for myself and this story. I was not someone who projected my own spiritual beliefs onto others. My primary objective was to be spontaneous, embrace my reality as my truth at that moment, and, in turn, accept the outcome without prejudice. I needed to figure this out on my own, without anyone else’s help.
So, on November 17, 2008, I said the following prayer and put forth the following intention: to pay close attention to my dreams, thoughts, and the signs placed before me, to help me understand and see my connection with Jesus Christ, which I supposedly experienced in a past life.

LOVE PROFUSION
There are too many questions
There is not one solution
There is no resurrection
There is so much confusion
And the love profusion
You make me feel
You make me know
And the love vibration
You make me feel
You make it shine
There are too many options
There is no consolation
I have lost my illusions
What I want is an explanation
And the love profusion
You make me feel
You make me know
And the love direction
You make me feel
You make me shine
You make me feel
You make me shine
You make me feel
I got you under my skin
I got you under my skin
I got you under my skin
I got you under my skin
There is no comprehension
There is real isolation
There is so much destruction
What I want is a celebration
And I know I can feel bad
When I get in a bad mood
And the world can look so sad
Only you make me feel good
I got you under my skin
I got you under my skin
I got you under my skin
I got you under my skin
I got you under my skin
I got you under my skin
I got you under my skin
I got you under my skin
And the love profusion
You make me feel
You make me know
And the love intention
You make me feel
You make me shine
You make me feel
You make me shine
You make me feel
I got you under my skin
I got you under my skin
I got you under my skin
I got you under my skin
I got you under my skin
I got you under my skin
I got you under my skin
I got you under my skin
And I know I can feel bad
When I get in a bad mood
And the world can look so sad
Only you make me feel good
